How Binary Works

  • Binary is a base-2 numeral system using only 0s and 1s
  • Each character is represented by 8 bits (1 byte)
  • Example: 01001000 = 72 in decimal = "H" in ASCII
  • "Hello" = 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111

Common ASCII Binary Codes

  • 01000001 = A (65)
  • 01100001 = a (97)
  • 00110000 = 0 (48)
  • 00100000 = Space (32)

Frequently Asked Questions

Binary is a base-2 number system that uses only two digits: 0 and 1. Computers use binary because electronic circuits can easily represent two states (on/off, high/low voltage).
A byte consists of 8 bits. This allows for 256 possible combinations (2^8), which is enough to represent all ASCII characters and basic symbols.
Yes! However, emoji require more than 8 bits. Most emoji use 16 bits (2 bytes) or more to represent their Unicode values. Our tool handles these by using 16-bit encoding for extended characters.
Binary is the fundamental language of computers. All data—text, images, videos, programs—is ultimately stored and processed as binary. Understanding binary helps in programming, networking, and computer science.
